Neighborhood Art Fair featuring over 100 vendors

 
2013 marks the inaugural year of the Neighborhood Art Fair!

The Neighborhood Art Fair was established to showcase and unite the creative community that exists across Milwaukee by valuing diverse aesthetics, promoting established as well as emerging artists, and providing a platform for communication between artists, neighbors, and communities.

As part of the broader IN:SITE 20-block "Art on Fond du Lac" initiative, the NAf will find its first home at the Fondy Farmers Market and will feature art from four Milwaukee neighborhood areas. Every year, the NAF will be held at a different venue, showcasing art from different neighborhoods. In 2014, you will find us in Washington Park.

Join us in celebrating Milwaukee and the creative people who live here!

Artist Opportunities

Artists Wanted for Milwaukee Public Library Site-Specific Public Art 



Help define the new standard at the Milwaukee Public Library Eastside Branch with your unique artistic vision and voice. This new development in the heart of Milwaukee’s eastside business district will replace the current 1968 structure with a new library that incorporates the best of 21st Century library design. Located within a community that values its public library, public art is an important element in this project and the Library is seeking Wisconsin artists who have the experience and ability to create site‐specific public art, in collaboration with the project team, which reflects the unique history and culture of the neighborhood. The Milwaukee Public Library is seeking two artists to create works that will be incorporated into the interior of the library.
 

 

 

"Chewy"


Artist: Ryan Carter 
Method: Adobe Illustrator
"Chewy" was created for a team of friends participating in the 2013 Rickshaw Run in India. Participants from all over the world hand decorated rickshaws from the southern tip of India through the Himilayas, to the northern tip of India. The proceeds went to benefit Frank Water and Elizabeth Glazer foundations.
